Raisu Palace {Shiroken} Solo Farming Hard Mode

I've seen ppl asking for farming build at Raisu Palace explorable.

I've been farming there for awhile for Golden Phoenix Blade

This is the build I'm using : E/A

Fire : 12+3+1
Shadow : 12
Rest in ES

Skills:
1. Deep Freeze [snare the group for 10 sec]
2. Glyph of Sac
3. Meteor Shower
4. Celestial Storm
5. Lava font
6. Freigned Neutrality or Shadow Refuge
7. Shadow Form {e}
8. Death Charge

Weapon Set
+5 enchant sword & +15/-1 fire offhand

Special note: You need your region to have favor so after you used CS on a group just go to the shrine and pay 75g to have CS recharge(75g is nothing if you get a gold drop). If no favor, just go and kill the first group at the far right.

Uses: always deathcharge to the nearest enemy if there's multiple rangers involved. If the group has mesmer or necro and without any ranger, DC to them instead all other shiroken will rush in on you before your DF hits them.

Bosses that you can kill: Phi and Ky
Bosses that you can't kill: Onata and Kai

I can't get to koosun and sseer because Kai is blocking the way. The run takes a long time, not your best gold drop over time run. You can probably vanquised the whole area with 2 other ele, 2 ele is not enough, I tried it with a friend. Can't bring Kai hp down more than half with single cs.

Feel free to comment on the build and what can I improve.










Alternative Shiroken farm - Unwaking Waters outside Harvest temple
==================

85 SV necro with SH/SoA. Just lure the first group up the stairs and you hide behind the wall to the entrance of harvest temple so the ranger won't hit you with their debilating shot. The group usually consist of Warrior and ranger. The don't interrupt so you can kill them pretty fast. Rinse and repeat.

2nd group usually have assassin with disrupting dagger (skill?) so if only 1 sin in the group just sv him first and you can take down the entire group. 2 sins, its your luck if you can get 2nd sv off on him.

1. Protective spirit
2. Shield hands
3. Shield Of Absorbtion
4. Spoiled Victor [e]
5. Healing Breeze
6. Mending
7. Essense Bond
8. Balt Spirit

correction: it's a 85 hp necro, you will die if you're 55.

Can't seem to make the Shiro'ken build work. I'm casting the 3 maintained enchants, then PS > HB > SoA, then SV, then casting SH when SoA runs out and vice-versa, while recasting PS and HB as they run out. What am I doing wrong?

I've tried casting SV on both the Rangers and Warriors, but I still seem to die, though I occasionally kill one or two mobs.

Using 16/9/9 btw.

You need to hide behind the wall and kill the warriors first, rangers last.

Since you're using shadow form, you can even use a superior energy storage rune. The -75 won't make that much difference.

a little bit more hp is needed when you fight against shiroken ele, since burning and song of the mists might be able to kill you.

When the enchantment ends he loses all but 40 hp. Because its set at 40, it doesn't really matter if he uses another sup rune.

correction: it's a 85 hp necro, you will die if you're 55. ... Attribute Point allocation? I'm guessing (naturally) that maximum pointage will have to be put into Blood Magic... and presumably Protection Prayers too.... but that would leave just 3 points for Healing Prayers (for Healing Breeze and Mending) ... I presume you need that due to health degen.... but in that case why not bring Watchful Spirit instead of Mending... and Blood Renewal instead of Healing Breeze? At 16 Blood Magic it should total up to a not insignificant total of +8 Health Regen.

And by the way, Essence Bond won't trigger through Shielding Hands.
Could slice in Life Siphon instead for yet more health regen... since you won't be getting the energy over half the time.

I use the standard setup of 16/9/9 but the life siphon might work. I'll try that later.

is it possible to replace celestial storm with a different skill? it's a bit of a hassle to renew CS for every group. a strong AoE spell of some kind perhaps?
